Zonker knows London..

She’s realy only after his money and title. She’d be Mrs Leutenant Wales and their monthly stipend would be about $300 per month.

I have been to London six times so far. I have been there when it was cold. I have been there when it was warm. I have been there when it was rainy. I have been there when it was dry. I have never been there when it was boring. Dr. Johnson’s quote is still every bit as accurate as it was nearly 300 years ago.

Here’s the quote, for those who aren’t familiar with Samuel Johnson: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

Samuel Johnson clearly never had to drive in London.

How old are Obama’s daughters?

Sam might want to re-think that one. The track record of recent British princesses is not that good.

Expect many angry letters from Brits towards GBT in the next few days.

Like no other young ladies have had the same thought. Get in line, Sam!

London’s not boring! There’s Prince Harry! whoever he is

I’d be careful there Lew.. those daughters have a daddy who has a staff of Secret Service agents at his command.

Not to mention the entire United States Marine Corps.

; )

Here’s an idea…

After the wedding, Zonker should take Sam shopping through Harrod’s and get some nice things for the parents.

As my mother would tell you… No trip to London is complete without shopping in Harrod’s.

My thoughts about all the handsome rich guys the girls my age pined for years ago, to, chik. They’re probably gay. But, then, they’d get all the good looking guys they want, so I guess the insult really doesn’t work to salve our wounded egos.

thanks for reminding me that the internet is a source of gossip, not news.

London can be boring, and the sun can go out tomorrow. But in London, who sees the sun anyway?

Can you imagine Zonker in Robin Hood tights, with Little John and his Merry Men?

You know the sheriff would be hassling “Zonker Hood”.

sandfan – You got that right!!

I’m married to a Brit and I’ve been in England many times. The weather has always been mostly sunny, even hot (90s) one July vacation, and the food was great!! My husband assured me before we went that none of the above would be true, and was surprised himself. Oh yes, and one is never supposed to be able to get a parking spot in downtown London, and we have gotten one every time – right by Covent Garden for great shopping.

“Lobster????”

@linz.coop: I believed you until you said you found parking at Covent Garden

“Sir, when a man is tire of London, he is tired of life, for London has all that life has to offer.” Samuel Johnson

No tanning in London, I can see why he’d be bored. And I’m sure GBT cares what Brit’s think.
